I would like to see an option to view several months in one window. The options may be to "view year", "view 6 months (semi-annual year), "view 4 months (quarterly)", "view from month/year to month/year". These options will be very helpful for planning purposes like choosing travel dates and to answer questions like: what day is xx? How many weeks from xx/19xx to xx/19xx? --SeshuP | I would like to see an option to view several months in one window.

==A Mail Archiving Facility in Mozilla Thunderbird== | |||
A Mail Archiving facility where in the mail is stored in another seperate database is a very much required feature as this will help in preserving mails for longer period. | |||
*This Archive database should be created in the location as specified by the user. | |||
*This database (preferably) be a single file (file system file) so that it can be easily moved to a different location / machine etc. | |||
===Possible implementation=== | |||
As a extension, if this cannot be a part of the main thunderbird. | |||
===How will users use this=== | |||
*User will have to first create a "Archive Mail Database" from thte file menu options. | |||
** When Creating she will have to give a provide the file system location for creating the archive (system may prompt with a default location) | |||
** The user has to provide with a physical file system name | |||
** and a logical name (which will be referenced within the thunderbird application) | |||
* the User will select a mail to be archived i.e right click (or from the menu options) and choose the option called archive. This action will remove the mail from the current folder/inbox and move it to the archive database. | |||
* Users can open the archive database either thru the menu options or through the tree view on the left hand side, which shows the archive database. | |||
===Likely usage=== | |||
* Archiving mails on a year on year basis for auditing purposes. | |||
* To back up the mails | |||
* For any other purpose the user wants it for. | |||
===Advantages=== | |||
* Seperate Mail Database with same security features, so reducing the load on the inbox (especially if you get tonnes of emails and you have to store them all) | |||
* Can act as a Backup | |||
